Armor: MJOLNIR Mark IV/ OCEANIC + CMN Attachment + Rebreather+ UA Attachment_"Secure the Covenant artifacts and technologies in the room, first" You ordered Mike, eyeing the floating crystals and gesturing towards the data vaults, taking a step towards the transmitter vali was slotted into "We'll follow Anton and Cal, once we've cleared the room of all that we can carry. Everything in here is to be considered high priority materials and intel, anything we take, will serve the war effort""Going to be a close shave" Mike said, glancing at the door before grabbing one of the levitating crystals, turning it around and inspecting it as you knelt down and got to work cutting wires that had melted and fused together, trying to free the data chip Vali had been contained on before you let him out on his "Walk", to see if it was at all salvageable and you could retrieve even a fragment of the fork you'd brought down into the war zone.The data they'd gathered and in the field learning would be invaluable, if it could be extracted and added to the main or future branches of Vali. Mike paused, looking down at you before nodding knowingly and moving across the room, pulling up a floor covering that looked to be made of a material between silk and chitin and folded it into a knapsack, stuffing every loose artifact and device into it as he methodically cleared the room while you performed digital surgery to free up the partially melted data chip from its hastily juryrigged housing.Cont
>>6477308"What's the prognosis?" Mike asked, suddenly, after a few tense minutes of splicing and scrapping away wires and globs of rapidly cooling, melting alien metals."Don't have high hopes. But there'll be fragmented processes and construct data left behind, that could be extracted and returned to the primary program" You answered as you finally managed to loosen and release the charred and deformed data chip, wincing as you turned it around an inspected its surface. It always hurt to see the kind of damage Vali could and would do to themselves when they let loose. Stowing the chip back into the hardcase, you grabbed hold of one of the other textile mats on the floor and go to work helping Mike collect and secure every piece of Covenant tech that wasn't nailed down, along with the artifacts of clearly non Covenant Origin. There was a locket made of a strange, metallic material that had a density closer to cotton that seemed to hum at your touch and looked remarkably similar to the recovered relics from the unknown alien facility on the uncharted world you'd discovered. You were gentle when you placed it in your own knapsack made out of a probably priceless and highly religiously significant Covenant Rug. Mike was right, the deadline was tight and there was a lot to grab.And only so much you could carry. You prioritized the artifacts and devices of unknown function, before grabbing examples of "Known" Covenant technology, like the data storage bricks or a belt of what looked like miniaturized anti gravity projectors, like the kind Covenant Vehicles were often equipped with. You could carry more than Mike, and did so, having two knapsacks to his overstuffed one by time he began to make for the open window and you shoveled and shoved everything you could fit into the bundles, kneeling down to adjust the positioning of a few items that looked delicate when you froze. Movement on the motion tracker, footsteps coming towards the door. There was a loud bang as you turned. The frozen, sealed portal sparked. And a red dot on your tracker moved back, as clearly they were employing the Brute Force method of opening a lock. You turned to Mike and nodded, not sparing a momentary glance to what you had to leave behind as you finished your adjustments and tied up both of your sacks.And then your eyes fell on the abandoned, floating chair the Covenant Minister had been seated in before your tranq'd them. And had an idea.>[Scrounger+ Giant] Take it with you, who knows what the techs could learn from taking it apart>[Giant] Pick it up and slam it into the door, to delay the hostile force for a few seconds longer>[Plasma Wiz+ Wunderkind] Hit a few buttons you recognize from Covenant weaponry, and aim the chair at the door before leaving>Forget it and leap out the window. You'll figure out your landing once you're out of the enemy's line of sight>Write in option

>>6477309>[Scrounger+ Giant] Take it with you, who knows what the techs could learn from taking it apartA minister chair is pretty high tier and useful. with the shileds, grav mod and assault canons. so lots of things to learn from it. especially with engineers.

>>6477309>[Scrounger+ Giant] Take it with you, who knows what the techs could learn from taking it apartSven must pillage.
I just want yo say this fellas.One of the stupidest highlights of this quest that I love is our willingness to steal everything and anything not nailed down to the floor, and considering the incredible feats of strength mk.II Spartans are capable of performing, they can also take everything that IS bolted down. Concrete and all.So the fact we're stealing the alien mobility scooter kills me. Another question would be who will pilot it.
>>6477406I don't know what to tell you, the Codex As- wait no wrong huge men stealing things.
>>6477309>[Plasma Wiz+ Wunderkind] Hit a few buttons you recognize from Covenant weaponry, and aim the chair at the door before leavingStealing it will be fun but IMO it's just needless weight. And also probably one of the most likely things here to be trackable.
>>6477406Sven is a space viking. It's only natural that he returns home with plunder and captives.
>>6477422Still a shame there's no female aliens he can capture and add to his sex slave harem.Well actually that'd be pretty cool. The problem is that there are no sexy female aliens. The splitjaws, are assholes, the brutes are assholes that stink, the birds are all of that plus they shit everywhere, and their leaders look like old people......Damn.
>>6477406Michael us our tech expert so probably him.
>>6477435>all our brothers and sister: "BUT SVEEEEN! IT'S MY TURN TO SIT IN THE HOVER CANNON CHAIR!"
>>6477427>Still a shame there's no female aliens he can capture and add to his sex slave harem
>>6477427
>>6477441>>6477449I'm an unapologetic goon. This is a fact. It's just unfortunate that all the aliens in the Halo franchise are kinda ugly. Well, the birds would be fuckable if they actually cared about hygene.
>>6477452We're all fucking perverts, but there's a time and place for that and it's called anywhere else but here.
>>6477453Speak for yourself, I've never fucked a pervert in my life.
>>6477309>[Scrounger+ Giant] Take it with you, who knows what the techs could learn from taking it apartSince Michael's going out the window, I guess we're driving this shitbox and using it to provide overwatch.
So climbing down. What we think of the idea i have throw around about going for the escape ship likely placed at top of the tower? The idea is having Mike use it for rapidly go down. Admittely we would have some Sasquatches in the way, but I consider that an opportunity.>>6477309>>[Scrounger+ Giant] Take it with you, who knows what the techs could learn from taking it apartChair time. Hehe i guess it can go like in the meme image i made previous thread.>>6477406On this quest, i evaluate all possible loot and attempt to loot it afterwards. And I consider aliens, alive or dead, loot as well. Its why in the Yanme Queen Chamber i insisted on searching for eggs, grab organs and cybernetics, and so on. Too bad we didn't grab a whole Yanme drone corpse there. Unfortunately the Yanme Queen corpse is rotting and was in a difficult place for tranaport. Real shame there. But we do have living eggs so Project Stockholm Insect Family might be made and greenlighted by ONI once those become Yanme larvae. Too bad we don't have living Yanme for ONI to study.Anyway even with this admittely sorrowful experience, right now valuable loot that exist in this tower exist still. There is also named and breathing loot like, Captain Teckyis, Captain Kestidion and Captain Protector Gikirbus. All 3 of them are still something i would want to grab. Hopefully they will attempt to follow us. Narq them or knocking them out in melee would be great XD !!!>>6477427Halo aliens, are really alien looking. Which is perfect in my opnion. So different standard of beauties. That Tengu female pirate captain we captured during Flyswatter could be considered a 10/10 bird by Tengus, but for us and humanity is just an excellent alive capture that we brought home to be studied and interrogated has long as possibile. And an ugly alien bird.Also.Its not gonna go like that. Sven is in multiple sights. Sights of great and powerful predators. Determinated ones. Ferocious ones. Unstoppable ones. Starving ones. If Sven is a norwegian cat purring in a forest this are bears and wolves searching for a cat-shaped meal. Mousy ship comms operators with their clumsy and cute ways, Maternal and Religious shaped Digital Entities with their warmth and care, Spartan Sisters with their affection and camraderie, and saved ONI agents stalking in the shadows wanting to give something back while checking the calendar ...... its gonna be a battle for the ages, and to the victor the Sve- Spoils, anon......
>>6477460Oh, to be clear, I'm suggesting combining this with this:>[Plasma Wiz+ Wunderkind] Hit a few buttons you recognize from Covenant weaponry, and aim the chair at the door before leavingExcept we fly this thing down the tower shooting as we go.It'll be cramped as shit and Sven'll probably have his knees up around his ears, but I'm pretty sure it'll work.
>>6477483Yeah that makes sense, thank you.Well, I can live without being an absolute goon, so nothings really lost, and those bug eggs? Do you think we should carry extra sedatives in the future to try and catch one alive? Maybe next mission we could requisition or make a high powered dart rifle?Do you think the bug aliens work dort of like bees? Like, if you feed a larve royal jelly, it'll become a queen?Do we know what John's been up to? I hope he's been looting like his big bro (not nessessarily older) Sven.Speaking of, how shot is canon? Slight AU, or "we took canon out in the backyard and shot it in the head" kind of changed?How does ONI and the various alphabet organization feel about the Spartans? I think it should be positive?
>>6477588Np>and those bug eggs?Captured from the queen chamber. Specifically in the ex-subterranean Yanme hive colony under Jamshid. This queen was basically an ally of the New Minister of Archeology (sleepy guy currently captured by us) and was placed under Jamshid, granting her colonization rights in exchange for providing cheap labour to the New Minister and cheap troops to the Brute Tribe land forces. A win-win political situation for the long-neck priest and the walking-carpet savages that we made sure to destroy and fill with water.>extra sedativesAbsolutely !! Yes. Animal-related ones used for deer, dogs, bears, wolves, rhinos, bulls, and horses should be suitable for most Covenant aliens. But in regard to the Yanme Hive Queen, it should be mandatory for Spartans to have access to sedatives for elephants and other larger animals. Those should work well even on Mgalekgolo Hunters.>high powered dart rifleDefinitely something to ask about! I think we can send it as a request to send down to ONI scientists and also have it made a standard weapon in the Spartans' arsenal. Sounds feasible. Nothing wrong with our dart pistols; they have proved pretty good, but something like that should help us.> bees?Well, I don't remember everything about the Yanme hives, but in general they have some common traits with animals like bees, ants, and so on. But what I can tell you is that Sven & co secured different types of eggs from that chamber. We looked for remarkable differences while looting them. So we believe we might have a queen egg and different drone eggs.>JohnJohn is currently in a delicate operation with Blue Team to steal a second Covenant spaceship. We don't know the details, but John & co managed to place themselves well to ensure they can attempt this capture.>canonI would say slight AU; everything added is all plausible. There are new Insurrectionist movements, new variants of MJOLNIR, new weapons (Evil Eye etc...), new vehicles (TYPHON vehicle family) etc.... stuff like that. More Spartans II survived the procedures; no Spartans have died in combat so far, and efforts for the Washouts are being made. There is more, and the docs hold a lot of this that you can see.>ONIMixed. Lab rats, super-soldiers to use, excellent minds and soldiers, brilliant humans that shouldn't have been treated like this. Not everyone has the same opinion. No one can deny the success of the Spartans, though. So any detractors shut their mouths or salivate so far. Sven also made some friends with a few ONI who are quite positive, like Dr.Okar or Agent Gloria Barlow. A member of its crew, Coste, is ONI too, and she has so far a good opinion of Sven so far.
Ah ONI took one of our Washouts siblings which is not something Sven liked at all.
>>6477618>Those should work well even on Mgalekgolo Hunters.I don't expect it will. Since those are actually a ton of worms and not a single organism I don't think injected sedatives would work. Maybe a topical spray or an aerosol would work better on them, but if you shot a juice pack into one it would probably just kill the individual worm it hit and do nothing else. But we don't know that since we haven't encountered one of them big wriggly beatsticks yet. So let's just forget anything was said.
>>6477632You make a good point that such a standard sedative could hit only a single worm organism, but. It's far funnier to request these sedatives anyway and try them in the future when Mgalekgolo are encountered. Even if it's guaranteed failure. Failure is learning. The reason for having these sedatives is simple. See, we don't know if Mgalekgolo exist since we haven't encountered them so far, but there is no reason not to request said sedatives for elephants or larger animals. Because we have reason enough to want them already, with the hive queen we found and killed. We are justified in requesting them since Sven killed a large insectoid alien leader that would shrug off sedative made for smaller animals with ease. So no worries.>a topical spray or an aerosol would work better on themLikely, sure.
